It just struck me that once upon our time, way way back in the ancient past, going back well more than 6,000 years ago, there was no god. There were no priests, no religions, no nothing other than a bunch of people trying to stay warm and stay fed and fend off whatever predators there were. And those people were atheists, by definition. You see, they had no god to believe in, so they didn't believe in god.

And at least one of those atheists invented god, and a whole god story to support it. And that was just the start of it. That was just the tip of the iceberg. But it is the only thing that explains the existence of god, as far as I can see.
